Strange scan errors
« on: September 06, 2010, 04:02:38 PM »
I can send you the 2 files from Quake 1 if that is of any help to solve the emulator thinking it's a decompression bomb, but i'm wondering how come avast! has problems with one of its own files (defs below 2 quake entries)? Should i worry about any of that?

No, you shouldn't - it's an old virus definitions folder that was removed at the same moment the scan arrived there.

Thanks. What about emul error? Do you need those two binaries or it's not important at all?
I mean if you need them to fine tune the engine...

Presumably these two .exe files are archives (or it shouldn't be giving a decompression bomb error), possible indication of the pipe character | after the .exe file name ?

Or those files are very large and when run in the emulator would require large amounts of space ?
